Only free men were allowed to participate in the Ancient Olympics. The games lasted for five days and included a race that was between 180-240 meters called the stadion, the diaulos (double the stadion), another race called the dolichos, and the hoplitodromos another race. Other games were eventually added, such as Wrestling, boxing, and pankration, a pentathlon (including discus, javelin, and long jump), and a chariot race.
